Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let’s look at the word “ball”. You could have a “ball”, which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball”, which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball”, which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball”, which means a dance. _____ Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike, which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup, which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can”, which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job. How about “fly”? You can “fly” an airplane or you can hit a “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants”, which means you don’t make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of a zipper (拉链) is the top part of the zipper. There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don’t you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used? If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly?, you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air, which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can! 18. The underlined word “multi-meaning” probably means ______ in the passage. A. 近义的 B. 多义的 C. 同音的 19. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3? ______ A. Let’s try another word. B. Let’s make a word list. C. Here’s a survey report. 20. If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will ______. A. do the can-can B. get canned C. be on the ball 21. According to the passage, the word “ ______ ” has the most meanings in the English language. A. ball B. can C. set 22. The writer writes the passage in order to ______. A. tell a story about learning English words B. introduce a book on learning English words C. share an experience in learning English words 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. B 21. C 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英语中的多义词现象。 【18题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Some English words have more than one meaning.”可知，有些英语单词有多个含义，所以划线部分的含义是“多义的”。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。空白处位于第3段开头，后文以“can”为例说明多义词的用法，与前文“ball”的例子形成并列关系，根据文章结构，此处应为过渡句，引出另一个单词的例子，A项符合。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And you might get ‘canned’ if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.”可知，Tom因工作表现差会被解雇。故选B。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The word ‘set’ has more meanings than any other word in the English language.”可知，“set”一词在英语中含义最多。故选C。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过多义词的例子引出书名《Can a Fly, Fly?》，所以此处表明写作目的是介绍这本英语单词学习书。故选B。 D There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a color film about them, or you can read a travel book. It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) idea of travels which the writers have got themselves. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical (实用性的) way. Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as “interesting”, “exciting” or “fantastic”. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication (出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you to travel. 23. The passage was written to introduce ______. A. travel books B. travel films C. travel places 24. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he ______. A read books B. traveled C. surfed the Internet 25. The underlined phrase “a cultured person” means a person with ______. A. a good appearance B. a good education C. a lot of experience 26. You must keep an open eye on the date of publication because ______. A. the prices of travel books may be different B. the writers of travel books may be different C. the information in travel books is always changing 27. According to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest. A. the first kind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books C. the third kind of travel books 【答案】23. A 24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了三种有关旅游的书籍，告诉读者要理智地选择。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了有关旅游的书籍。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) idea of travels which the writers have got themselves.”可知，第一种旅行的书是作者在某地旅行回来后写出的关于自己的主观感受，故选B。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful.”可推测，能够写出书的，应该是受过良好教育的人，故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication (出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century.”可知，一定要注意书的出版日期，因为信息是不断更新的，在 21世纪许多事情变化很快。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The third kind are those books which are called…in the most practical (实用性的) way.”可知，第三种书核心目的是帮助读者以最实用的方式规划旅行，旅行前最需要“规划行程的实用信息”，因此第三种是最佳选择，故选C。 三、完形填空(本大题共10小题,共10分) 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was always busy and had too many things to do.

Every great achievement (成就) has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实). Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive (天真的). Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time. Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are good examples. They developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that the human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world. To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true. 43.

If you are thirteen and your sister is seven, how much should you pay for the tickets? A. $ 3 B. $ 8 C. $ 6 B Philip is a school boy. On his twelfth birthday, he decided to give up eating meat. “I don’t think it’s right to eat animals,” he said. “They live on the Earth just like us and they are our friends.” Philip’s parents were not happy about that. “You are a growing boy,” his mother said. “You need meat. Do you want to stay short and be weak?” His mother put some beef, rice and carrots in front of him. “I want you to eat all your food now,” she said. “Don’t leave anything.” Philip didn’t want to make his mother sad. But he ate only the rice and the carrots. “You’re a silly boy!” said his father “I’m getting very angry with you.” “I’m sorry, Mum and Dad,” answered Philip. “I don’t want you to be sad or angry. But I really don’t want to eat any meat.” “Then have some fish, dear,” said his mother. “Oh, no. I can’t!” cried Philip. “Fish are living things too.” “Well, you can’t have anything to eat at all if you don’t eat any meat or fish,” said his father. The next morning Philip got up hungry. His father walked to the school with him and said that he’d like to see the teacher. “Is this what you teach the students at school?” he asked the teacher. “Philip refuses to eat meat at home. He doesn’t listen to what I say.” “I don’t agree with Philip,” replied the teacher. “But I think he’s brave to do what he thinks is right. We teach the students to do that.” 13. Philip decided to give up eating meat when he was ______. A. 11 B. 12 C. 10 14. Philip’s mother thought that Philip would ______ if he didn’t eat any meat.

Philip’s father went to the school with Philip because ______ . A. he was a teacher there B. he wanted to see the teacher C. Philip got up very late 17. Philip’s teachers teach students ______ . A. to give up eating animals B. to listen to their parents C. to do what they think is right C Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi-meaning words. Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let’s look at the word “ball”. You could have a “ball”, which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball”, which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball”, which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball”, which means a dance. _____ Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike, which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup, which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can”, which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job. How about “fly”? You can “fly” an airplane or you can hit a “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants”, which means you don’t make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of a zipper (拉链) is the top part of the zipper. There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don’t you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used? If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly?, you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air, which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can! 18. The underlined word “multi-meaning” probably means ______ in the passage. A. 近义的 B. 多义的 C. 同音的 19. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3? ______ A. Let’s try another word. B. Let’s make a word list. C. Here’s a survey report. 20. If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will ______. A. do the can-can B. get canned C. be on the ball 21. According to the passage, the word “ ______ ” has the most meanings in the English language. A. ball B. can C. set 22. The writer writes the passage in order to ______. A. tell a story about learning English words B. introduce a book on learning English words C. share an experience in learning English words D There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a color film about them, or you can read a travel book. It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) idea of travels which the writers have got themselves. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical (实用性的) way. Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as “interesting”, “exciting” or “fantastic”. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication (出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you to travel. 23. The passage was written to introduce ______. A. travel books B. travel films C. travel places 24. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he ______. A. read books B. traveled C. surfed the Internet 25 The underlined phrase “a cultured person” means a person with ______. A. a good appearance B. a good education C. a lot of experience 26. You must keep an open eye on the date of publication because ______. A. the prices of travel books may be different B. the writers of travel books may be different C. the information in travel books is always changing 27. According to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest. A. the first kind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books C. the third kind of travel books 三、完形填空(本大题共10小题,共10分) 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was always busy and had too many things to do.

Every great achievement (成就) has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实). Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive (天真的). Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time. Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are good examples. They developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves. Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that the human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world. To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true. 43. According to the passage, what is the result of years of dreaming? ________________________________________________________________ 44. Did Thomas Edison achieve more than the others in his time? ________________________________________________________________ 45. How many famous great dreamers are there in the passage? ________________________________________________________________ 46. When did Colonel Saunders set up KFC? ________________________________________________________________ 47. What does the passage mainly tell us? ________________________________________________________________ Are you the only child in the family? If so, you are the most important in your family. Parents are the closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. (1) They feel they’re not as close to their parents as before. They don’t even think their parents are fair to them. Some students complain (抱怨) that their parents say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say (2) 他们的父母不允许他们玩电脑游戏 when other classmates are doing that. Others say when they’re making phone calls to friends, their parents like to ask if they’re speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some students even decide to leave home because they’re afraid to tell their parents when they have done something wrong, especially when they do badly in exams. Then they usually think running away is the only choice. (3) But they don’t know running away may bring them some more problems. Problems are parts of life. Here are some suggestions for you to solve your problems. (4) 为什么不和父母谈谈？Find a good chance. Don’t be afraid to tell them your feelings. Get help from others, like good friends or teachers. (5) Keep a diary to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings. Show your parents you are growing up. Then they’ll feel you’re no longer a small child. If you follow the advice, you’ll have a happy life and never think of running away. 48 ________ 49. ________ 50. ________ 51. ________ 52. ________ 七、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共10分) 53. 假设你是李华，每到周末你都在父母的要求下上至少四个课外班，你感到压力很大，疲惫不堪，决定给父母写信，表明自己对课外班的看法，请根据所提示的信息用英语写一封信。 要点如下：1.课外班太多，压力大； 2.周末应该休息，少上或不上课外班； 3.应该多做户外运动，锻炼身体，缓解学习压力； 4.理解父母的苦心，也希望得到父母的理解； 要求：1.内容包含上述要点并可适当发挥； 2.词数80词左右，已给出的句子不计入总词数； 3.文中不得出现你的真实姓名，学校名及地名。 Dear father and mother, I’m really tired these days._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
